HAIR AND CURL PIN.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lnrsn FROMMANN,

geborn MAGHTANZ, a subject of Germany,

same in the perfect manner attained according to the present invention.

The essence of the invention consists in that the two legs of the hairpin are arranged cross-wise over one another' and that the hair-pin has a spring action in its bent part, so that the two legs remain in the position they have once assumed. In order further to prevent the sliding of the hairpin out of the hair, one of the legs may be split and the other be provided withundulations.

A. mode of carrying the invention into eectis illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing, in which Figures l and 2 show a hair pin constructed in accordance with my invention and having its legs crossed and provided with a cooperating split portion and undulations.

Figs. 3 and 4 are respectively `an elevation and a plan view of the same, the legs of the pin in these views being shown uncrossed for the purpose of illustration.

The two legs l of the hairpin are crosswise superposed. In its bent part 2 the Specification of Letters Patent. Patnfed M31. 22, 1921,

hair-pin possesses spring action, whereby the legls are kept in their position.

he Inode of using the new hair and curl pin is as follows The pin is pushed into the hair in the same manner as the known hair-pins and is turned around once, whereby it is attained that the portion of the hair that is to be secured in position lirst of all lies before the crossing of the' legs l and after the turnlng of the pin comes to lie in the loop 3 formed by the crossing, thus completely insuring that the hair-pin shall not slip out by itself.

The pulling out of the hair-pin, however, is Just as simple as in the ordinary forms of construction.

The legs l of the hair-pin may also be provided with any desired number of undulations 4 and the latter be displaced relatively to one another in different directions. Further, the legs l may be split so as to form a slit 5 and such split parts may also be formed with undulations as shown in the drawing.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent isz- 1. A hair-pin having legs superposed cross-wise and a bent portion between the legs which possesses spring action, the crossed portions of the legs being provided with undulations and one leg being split at the point of crossing.

2. A hair-pin of the kind defined by claim 1 in which the undulations or' one leg are arranged at right angles to the axis of the split in the other leg.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
